I mean saying there’s a gazillion genders is one thing, but actively enslaving half of the country is another. The left of center is annoying and probably to the point of ruining things but the right of center is actively going Red Giant.

Well, they are.

They both have some ridiculously extreme idiotic policies.

The whole anti police pro crime b.s. of the far left lunatics. Say anything about the drug addicts living on the street causing tons of theft and other crimes and theyll act like you hate people who are just "down on their luck" And then there is the whole "gender identity" b.s. where they become as anti science as the right winger climate denialists and act like you are a horrible person just for static biological facts.

Then as just mentioned you have the right wingers who are a bunch of anti science nut jobs, their whole anti science climate change denial, their anti vaccine nonsense and general disregard for most things science. Then you have their anti immigration stuff and how a lot of them are just pretty overt racists in the Trump and post Trump era.

And both parties are just full of pro corporatists nonsense. The right pretends to be for the little guy by talking about "small business" and "tax breaks" and yeah all their regulatory nonsense makes things just as complex as the Ds tax idiocy and only benefits mega corps and mega rich. Ds likewise talk about helping the common person but their tax increase and spending policies screw over basically anyone who has a job and only help people who essentially refuse to work as thats the only way they have low enough "income" to qualify for things like medicaid or food stamps.

Id like a party that actually helps the majority who are actually working hard and could still use help. Would like a more technocratic way of selecting the people leading this country instead of rewarding fools who just happen to either be good at forming a personality cult or benefiting from name recognition of a lifetime in politics. Id like a party that doesnt cater to either the ultra "woke" on the left or the "I hate everyone who looks or speaks differently than me" on the right. Just drop ideological nonsense and focus on finding working solutions. Who cares if it requires government or requires a private corporation to do something, if it works and improves things overall then lets do it.

Don’t worry. That time will come. Will you live to see it? Would you even want to provided the journey? We will see.

Republicans: only elections we win are legitimate and if we don't win we're going to shoot people and we're going to have forced birth and we're going to force kids to learn about Christopher Columbus (just the good stuff) but not that racism exists

Democrats: sometimes you have to call someone by their preferred pronouns and maybe a few more people can have health care

Moderates: these are the same

I've never understood why so many leftists (and right wingers for that matter) think 'Moderates' and 'Centrists' are the worst political affiliation.

The simple middle is just an arbitrary line that is malleable to goalpost shifting as opposed to any actual principle.

It pretty much means they stand in the way of everything and anything.

And the current crop of Centrists just aren't like Rockefeller, Nixon, Eisenhower, or Ford either.

So are we talking about Centrism becoming the "No" caucus or a simple mathematical relic?
